SHARE YOUR BEAUTY CHARITY:

In 2014 Pretty Connected joined forces with the non-profit, Family-to-Family to launch the ‘Share Your Beauty‘ program — a new initiative to collect unused, unopened beauty products for women who are homeless or victims of domestic violence. We’ve partnered with LeSportsac to donate all of the products we receive in their signature bags so each member of our community receives the beauty products packaged as a beautiful gift. To date over 115,000 products have been donated thanks to the generosity of brands, agencies, magazines, celebrities, editors, influencers and friends! Learn more HERE.
